[QUOTE="smaneck, post: 69662714, member: 269871"] Americans have no monopoly on gerrymandering. At least twenty other countries have practiced it. For a time it was prohibited under the 1965 Voting Rights but after it was gutted, gerrymandering became the rule. State legislators decide how to divy up Congressional Districts and in many areas they did so in such a way to insure Republican victories. This had the unintended consequence of allowing wingnut extremists into the House of Representatives such that even the Republican Speaker couldn't control them. The real question is what do conservatives control so many state legislatures? The reason is young people and minorities have a bad habit of sitting out the bi-elections. So in some ways, it is the Dems own fault. [/QUOTE]
